It's about me now...

  I guess I have never really introduced myself properly nor even talked about how I got my start in photography.  New Year's Eve 2008, the very first time I picked up a camera and shot a landscape photo without one of my children in it... But before we even get started down that road, let me give you a little bit more about me.
  I am just a simple stay at home mom with 3 children.  I have a background in music and art that let me travel all over Asia.  I was a singer with a band and went from Manila to Indonesia and Japan and more.   My life settled down quite a bit when I met my husband.  We were married in 1998.
  Since having children, I was always searching for a way to scratch my artistic itch while still spending time with my kids at the same time.  I started making handmade cards as a small get away for my artistic mind until it became a small business.  I enjoyed it and I could make my own schedule to spend time with my husband and my children.  But knowing myself I started searching for more.  I wanted to evolve the business into something more.  I knew myself and I knew something was missing.
  Then, in late 2007, I realized that photos could be used to complement the cards.  I was too afraid to even touch a camera at that time unless it was for a family photo or special event in my family.  People were always saying that I had and an eye for art but it never occurred to me that I had an eye for photography.  There were no photographers in my family so I had a lot to learn and experiment with. That's when New Years Eve 2008 came along and I shot my very first photo, a landscape shot ... I WAS HOOKED!

Stay tuned for pix from that first shoot and the ups and downs I've experienced along the way...
